A strange storY-so strange that in
fiction it would be condemned for its
impossible situation-comes from Mil
waukee. Five years ago, as the story
goes, Mrs. Herneman, wife Of William,
submitted quietly to a divorce for which
he sued on the ground that she had
borne him no children. William soon
afterward married again, and now has
two children. About two months ago
he removed to Milwaukee from Michigan,
where he had divorced his first wife. A
few days later the first wife arrived in
Milwaukee, and begged so piteously to
be heal her former husband, whom she
said she still loved more than life, that
Mr.. Herneman and his present wife took
her in as housekeeper. They are now
all living under the same roof, and the
former wife seems to be exceedingly
grateful for her privileges and fond of
her former husbands children. The
love that can urge a woman to accept
this situation must be irresistible. Chi

Carson Index: A New York syndi.
cate has succeeded in having silver
listed in the New York Stock Exchange.
This is a long step in the direction Of
demonetizing the tabooed metal. The
idea that silver is merely q commodity
is precisely what Wall street has been
end~eavoring to establish. The action OF
the Exchange in listing it is a conirma.
tion of the desires of the money changers,
and is designed, no doubt, to influence
Congress in its next session to formally
demonetize the metal. With the ma.
tional Administration and the capitalists
against them, the people have but little
chance in the bold and brazen game of
contraction now being played. The next
thing in order will be a corner in silver
which will send the price down about
the time Congress meets.

A Law.

On the night Of March 81, 1877, says
the Spokane Falls Review, the dwelling
house Of Mr.. Brewer. at Medical Lake.
worth about 3, 500. was burned. The
fire was supposed to have been the work
OF an incendiary. At the time Of the
fire the house was unoccupied. For
some cause Mr.. Brewer occasioned the
arrest of Mrs. Maggie Brewer. his
divorced wife, charging her with the
oFeuse Of arson in burning the building.
A hearing was had before Judge Booge.
Justice Of the Peace, at which T. c.
Grifiths, Esq, appeared as counsel for
defendant and maintained, among other
things, that it was not a crime against
the laws OF the Territory to burn an IN
occupied dwelling house. The lady was
held to bail, however, and on Wednes-
day her case came up before the Grand
Jury at Spokane Falls.
The jury submitted the point Of law
to the Court, and His Honor, Judge
Turner, instructed them in substance
tina. it was not the crime Of arson or
any other crime to burn an unoccupied
dwelling house, and that they should re-
port not q true bill. The announcement
Of the Law created much comment and
surprise. 1t seems that the statute
relating to arson was amended in 1856,
and in the amended statute this state of
facts was omitted, and not denounced as
. crime. From this decision, which
seems to be unquestionably the law, it
results that any person may burn an IN
occupied dwelling house anywhere in
that Territory with absolute i~mpunity,
SO far as any punishment therefor is con-
cerned.

Reno Gazette: The miners of Vir.
ginia have just forwarded $500 to the
sufferers of the disaster in the coal mine
at Nanaimo, British Columbia. Giving
to charity has become second nature to
Comstock miners. It is said that at the
Crown Point mine not a payday for
years has passed without a collection.
Some of the miners give away, on an
average, from five to ten dollars per
month Of their salary. In flush times
the Sisters at a fair have raised as much
as SIC, 1000. A little over a year ago the
miners presented 81, 500 to Mrs. Delaney,
whose husband had been killed on the
streets of Virginia by a policeman.
There is probably no other place of its
size on the American Continent where so
much is done in the way Of charities as
on the Comstock, and no other people so
self.sacriicing as the Comstock miners.
